Designing with Canva

Getting your story written is only part of the journey — how your book looks
is just as important. A polished cover and clear interior layout help readers connect
with your story. When I created my own book, I turned to Canva,
because it made design simple, affordable, and surprisingly powerful.

Why I Recommend Canva

• Design book covers (templates sized for KDP and IngramSpark)
• Create simple interior layouts for picture books or workbooks
• Make marketing materials — postcards, flyers, and social posts
• Build your author brand — logos, business cards, press kits

Canva’s drag-and-drop tools are beginner-friendly and work right in your browser,
so you can design anywhere.

Final Thought

Design doesn’t have to be intimidating. Canva helps you bring your ideas to life
visually so your story looks as professional as it reads.
